Superdrug My Little Star New Mum Nipple Cream Review

Tested by mum Nikki Essex for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I have been using this nipple cream after each feed and I found it to be quite a relief as it was very soothing. It's fragrence free so I'm happy that it's safe for baby. I don't think my baby has noticed any difference when I have used it. One top tip is that I put it in the fridge for a bit before each use and that made it an even bigger relief. Such a great price too.

Brilliant value for money. The cream is not too greasy, doesn’t have and offensive odour or texture, soaks in well and more importantly it does the job.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

My baby has had latching issues due to a tongue tie, consequently my nipples were red and painful. Using this cream as recommended has really helped with the discomfort.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

Nothing!

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

This was a nice soft soothing cream that was comforting on the nipple. I find I get tender nipples after expressing with the pump. I found using this cream would provide initial comfort however it didn’t last long. It was nice and cool when first applied which was very soothing. It had a relaxing fragrance. However I felt it did not fully absorb and left a coating/residue on the skin. My baby didn’t seem to be affected during feeding by my usuing the product. The bottle was quite plain, and not very eye-catching.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

This product benefits life as a mum as it provides comfort to tender nipples. When breastfeeding becomes a litlle sore it can be off-putting to mums. This product is providing comfort to mums before the baby is due his next feed.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

If i could change one thing it would be the slight residue that remains on skin, the product does not seem to fully absorb in to the skin and wiping off any excess cream can be quite tender.

As reviewed by real mums in our M&B Awards 2015:

This product was easy to apply, a nice texture and left the nipples feeling moisturised but not greasy. It's not a heavy cream, so seriously cracked and sore nipples might need something thicker and more intensive, but as a protective cream to help prevent sore nipples it works well. For 99p you can't go wrong with this product, good value for money.

Excellent value for money. This tube, for less than a pound, could last a new mum throughout several months of breastfeeding! Friends using the product following birth commented that this cream provided immediate relief to the nipple area. This tube could be left out in the bathroom area, without any feelings of embarrassment, due to the 'cute' designs used alongside the logo. The cream is suitable for vegetarians.
